Purity
Glorified! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How did we get here?
Don't you remember?
No one ever does.
Stuck in a world
Where physics don't apply
You are in control
This landscape,
Littered with memories,
Reminds you of who you are,
What you want,
And what you can't have.
Minutes feel like hours
Hours feel like years
True fears are realised
But the most terrifying thing is
Not knowing you can't escape what's in your head
You can't escape from your mind
Time to wake up,
And face yours.
Wake up, open your eyes, look around.
In the back of your mind, it haunts you.
It will never end.
Fight the flashbacks, it never ends
Recall.
Think back, how did we get here?
Don't you remember?
No one ever does.
The lyrics to "Purity" by Glorified! offer a profound insight into the constant battle with oneself. The lyrics take us on a journey through the depth of the human psyche, highlighting the struggle to escape one's own thoughts and memories. The opening lines "Think back How did we get here? Don't you remember? No one ever does." immediately sets a poignant tone, as the listener is encouraged to look back and begin to question the present situation.
The lyrics continue to explore the internal conflicts of the mind. The line "You are in control or so you think," portrays the feeling of losing touch with reality and the distorted perception of one's own control over their existence. The scenery described as โlittered with memoriesโ reminds us of the past, highlighting the unalterable effect it has on shaping who we are and what we want.
Line by Line Meaning
Think back
Reflect on the past and how we arrived at this point.
How did we get here?
What events or choices led us to this place?
Don't you remember?
Despite the importance of the past, it is often forgotten or ignored.
No one ever does.
It is a common human flaw to forget or ignore important events of the past.
Stuck in a world
Trapped in an environment.
Where physics don't apply
A metaphor for being in a mental state where the laws of reality do not function as they should.
You are in control
You believe you have agency over your actions and thoughts.
Or so you think.
The implication is that this control may be illusory or temporary.
This landscape,
The setting in which we find ourselves.
Littered with memories,
A reminder of our past experiences that shape who we are.
Reminds you of who you are,
Our environment can be a force that helps define our identity.
What you want,
Our desires are a part of our identity and shape our decisions.
And what you can't have.
There are limitations and barriers that prevent us from achieving our desires.
Minutes feel like hours
Time can pass slowly and painfully when we are suffering or struggling.
Hours feel like years
A similar idea to the previous line, but emphasizing the subjective experience of time.
True fears are realized
Many of our deepest, most primal fears are closely tied to our identity and self-conception.
But the most terrifying thing is
An escalation of the previous thought -- a realization that something even more profound and frightening is occurring.
Not knowing you can't escape what's in your head
An acknowledgment of the power of our own thoughts, and the difficulty of controlling them.
You can't escape from your mind
Our minds are an integral part of who we are, and they cannot be separated from our identity or experiences.
Time to wake up,
It is time to become aware of reality and take action in order to make changes.
And face yours.
Confront one's own fears, limitations, and true self.
Wake up, open your eyes, look around.
A repetition of an earlier line, urging us to awaken to reality and become aware of our surroundings.
In the back of your mind, it haunts you.
Our fears and doubts can be ever-present, nagging at us even when we try to ignore them.
It will never end.
Our struggles and challenges may persist indefinitely, without a clear resolution or endpoint.
Fight the flashbacks, it never ends
We must be resilient and struggle against the mental scars and traumas we may carry from our past experiences.
Recall.
A final call to remember, revisit the past and learn from our experiences.

@Brian Doerksen & Jeremy Riddle ....
Brian, and Jeremy ... this worship song so greatly exemplifies the "heart of (GREATFUL) worship" of TRUE Believers of our Lord Jesus Christ and Children of our Almighty God. Those who recognize how much they have been cleansed of, and forgiven ... and of the NEW IDENTITY they now have ... in Jesus Christ. A "DONE DEAL" in Eternity already ... yet even while we continue down the road of "progressive sanctification" in this "physical realm" and this realm of "time and space" here.
How miraculous! How Gracious (of Him). How undeserving (of us).
Yet how sure and permanent His work for us on that Cross, not only setting us FREE but also making us HOLY (in Him) !
To you both, .. may I commend you & thank you for your response to His Holy Spirit in producing this .. a worship tune VERY WELL DONE (for His glory and for His Body).
Thank you.

Lyrics:
Purify my heart,
Let me be as gold and precious silver.
Purify my heart,
Let me be as gold, pure gold.
Refiner's fire,
My heart's one desire
Is to be... holy;
Set apart for You, Lord.
I choose to be... holy;
Set apart for You, my Master,
Ready to do Your will.
Purify my heart,
Cleanse me from within
And make me holy.
Purify my heart,
Cleanse me from my sin, deep within.
Refiner's fire,
My heart's one desire
Is to be... holy;
Set apart for You, Lord.
I choose to be... holy;
Set apart for You, my Master,
Ready to do Your will.
Refiner's fire,
My heart's one desire
Is to be... holy;
Set apart for You, Lord.
I choose to be... holy;
Set apart for You, my Master,
Ready to do Your will

As a christian woman, I take a shower at night, put on moisturizer and eye cream, and then go to bed and pray, and cry and cry in prayer, and all the eye cream and all the product is wiped away ๐ and it's worth it. Nothing compares to being in the Presence of my Kingโค

Beautiful share. By bed time I'm exhausted. But I listen to the word or worship and end up crying out these very words because I need his presence desperately.

I just found this version of the song that I originally wrote in 1989 . . . tenderly and beautifully done. Still amazed and grateful that this song continues to speak for people in all types of settings. Thanks Jeremy.
